Today, once again, Harry Reid is shaking his angry little fists at the NRA. As his deputy chief of staff Adam Jentleson is only too proud to tell us:
Senator Reid on the floor: "Let's not mince words about who has stopped us from passing background checks: Republicans" and the NRA.
— Adam Jentleson (@AJentleson) October 5, 2015
Reid: NRA "was once a moderate sportsmen's association" that "once called background checks reasonable." Now an ideological, right-wing org.

Senator Reid: "What does it say about our country that we're willing to stand by idle while these tragedies happen… How many more?"
— Adam Jentleson (@AJentleson) October 5, 2015
On the floor, Sen. Reid says he's started reaching out to senators to see what can be done to advance background checks despite GOP control.

Senator Reid on the floor: to advance background checks, "one thing is clear: we need Republicans to stop acting as puppets of the NRA."

"A broken heart really isn’t enough, is it?" Reid asked on the Senate floor Monday evening. http://t.co/T2RgHFMoSq

Oh yeah, Harry? Wonder how many hearts you broke when you did this:
Harry Reid handed out a $61 million gun range earmark in the hopes it would buy the NRA's endorsement in 2010 https://t.co/YoyZCH37Sp

Remember that, @AJentleson? Remember when your boss and the NRA president cut that ribbon together? Here's the video https://t.co/1c8Xkfbjzi

Ruh-roh …
@seanmdav @AJentleson Maybe he's evolved. Yeah?

Ah. That’s probably it.
